A new player in the Global Warming Denialism field – the typically dishonestly named Civil Society Coalition on Climate Change, which as its members boasts all the libertarian, Right Wing “think”-tanks that employ no real climate scientists, but instead an army of apologists for the pollution industry, including the nefarious John Locke Foundation (via) and the propaganda experts in the cookie-cutter mold of Frank Luntz, Carl Rove and Eric Dezenhall. Just look at their opening salvo, their first so-called report (pdf) – if you have been following the GW denialism lately you can instantly recognize all their carefully crafted Orwellian words, phrases and the entire denialists’deck of cards.
